rose house of Albert Lies and the stock 

 is looking fine. 



Leonard Kill was on deck at Peter 

 Eeinberg's again Monday morning after 

 a couple of days' illness. He reports 

 being closely booked up on the Mrs. 

 Field rose, the best stock at $6 per 

 dozen. One retailer offered an order for 

 300 at that price, but could only be 

 accommodated in part. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving con- 

 siderable quantities of chrysanthemums 

 this week. Nonin is the principal va- 

 riety. 



All the supply houses are as busy as 

 they can be. C. M. Dickinson at Hunt's 

 says the season is considerably the best 

 to date with them. The A, L. Randall 

 Co. has all it can handle in the supply 

 department, and E. F. W^nterson Co. is 

 rushed. They are making a specialty of 

 artificial goods, also handling holly in 

 quantity, but not making so much 

 wreathing as usual. 



N. J. Wietor says that he looks for 

 the heavy demand for Beauties, good 

 roses and carnations to hold better than 

 usual through the week from Christmas 

 to New Year's. He has many inquiries 

 for stock for social functions around 

 Xew Year's. 



E. Francis, of Scheiden & Schoos, says 

 he is in every way satisfied with the 

 way business is progressing. 



It is reported one retailer has placed 

 an order for 30,000 violets for Sunday 

 and Monday. 



F. F. Benthey says the call for Kil- 

 larney is something tremendous; had 

 they anticipated it they would have 

 planted it much more heavily. 



Visitors. 



Among the visitors in the last week 

 were: E. H. Haentze, Fond du Lac, 

 Wis.; H, A. Bunyard, New York, suffer- 

 ing from writer's cramp as the result 

 of a trip among the gardeners at Lake 

 Geneva; Harry Papworth, New Orleans; 

 C. F. Eice, Minneapolis; Mrs. C. W. 

 Pike, Racine, Wis.; Will Breitmeyer, 

 Mt. Clemens, Mich. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



The Christmas rush will be on this 

 week and everything looks bright for 

 good business, although it has been rather 

 quiet for the last week in almost every- 

 thing except funeral work. The ad- 

 vance sales of holiday greens are very 

 satisfactory and the demand for holly 

 is expected to exceed all previous years. 

 Mistletoe is fine. Among the plants for 

 Christmas which seem most in favor are 

 cyclamens, azaleas, poinsettias and Lor- 

 raine begonias. These are fine, espe- 

 cially those from Jablonsky and Bent- 

 zen. 



The cut flower market was dull Mon- 

 day, not much stock coming in. Prices this 

 week will be almost as high as the day 

 before Christmas, so it would hardly 

 pay for any of the shippers to hold 

 stock back. Fancy grades in roses are 

 up to $8 and $10 per hundred. There 

 seem to be plenty of seconds. Beauties 

 are scarce in all grades. Carnations, too, 

 have shortened up considerably, with 

 prices much higher on fancy stock. 



California violets also are high in 

 price; $2 per hundred will about be the 



rate for Christmas. Bulb stock will be 

 plentiful. Prices will hardly go up on 

 this stock. Stevia and a few callas and 

 sweet peas will about make up what the 

 market will contain during the holidays. 



Qub Meetin£. 



The last meeting of the year of the 

 St. Louis Florists' Club took place 

 December 13, President Irish occupying 

 the chair, with twenty members present. 



Chairman W. C. Smith, for the trus- 

 tees, reported that they had engaged a 

 new hall in the Burlington building, 810 

 Olive street, opposite the post-office. The 

 club will hold its first meeting there 

 January 10. In this hall no exhibitions 

 can be given, so it was decided to hoM 

 our exhibition in some other hall and 

 invite the public. E. G. Eggeling was 

 elected to membership. The flower show 

 committee made a favorable report and 

 read the names of thirty-eight subscrib- 

 ers to the guarantee fund, who sub- 

 scribed $2,500, and stated that by the 

 .lanuary meeting the fund would reach 

 $7,000. This report enthused the mem- 

 bers ])resent to work hard to accomplish 

 the committee's desire to finish the fund 

 not later than the February meeting. 

 That the show is a go, goes without 

 saying. 



G. H. Pring, of the Missouri Botanic 

 Garden, read an essay on "The Cultiva- 

 tion of Orchids," which was pleasing to 

 the members. A. J. Bentzen led a dis- 

 cussion on growing cyclamen which was 

 participated in by Messrs. Schray, Braun 

 and Fillmore. Harry L. Goodman, a 

 representative of the Union Stock Yards. 

 Chicago, was present and gave a talk on 

 pulverized sheep manure, which his com- 

 pany is selling in large lots to florists.
